To facilitate prompt and authoritative identification of goods
and articles made by blind persons, any person, public or private institution
or agency, firm, association, or corporation engaged in the manufacture or
distribution of goods or articles made by blind persons may apply to the
commission for the blind for registration and authorization to use an official
imprint, stamp, symbol, or label, designed or approved by the commission to
identify blind-made products and containing the words, "made by a blind
workman" or "made by the blind," or "blind-made" and to which shall be added
the name of the manufacturer, the place of manufacture, and such other
information as the commission prescribes.

The commission shall adopt rules and regulations with respect
to procedures to be followed in determining whether an applicant is engaged in
the manufacture or distribution of blind-made goods or articles. Any applicant
who complies with such rules and regulations and sections
5109.15 to
5109.18, inclusive, of the Revised
Code, shall be provided with a certificate of registration and authorization to
use the official mark of identification for blind-made products, valid for one
year from the date of issue.

The commission may register, without investigation, nonresident
individuals and out-of-state agencies, firms, associations, or corporations
upon proof that they are recognized and approved by the state of residence or
organized pursuant to a law of such state imposing requirements substantially
similar to those prescribed by sections
5109.15 to
5109.18, inclusive, of the Revised
Code.
